Guides
Long-form guides that solve dead zones end-to-end. These are the pages we’ll keep updating as we learn what works.
PILLAR
Fix Wi‑Fi dead zones
Step-by-step diagnosis and the right fix path.
DECISION
Mesh vs backhaul
When to add nodes vs when to wire it (MoCA/Ethernet).
BACKHAUL
MoCA for beginners
Coax → wired backhaul (diagram + setup path).
BACKHAUL
MoCA for mesh backhaul
Wiring patterns and gotchas that make mesh stable.
PLACEMENT
Mesh placement
Where nodes actually go (and common mistakes).
EXPLAINER
Wi‑Fi dead spots
What causes them, how to test them, and which fix path fits.
Common Questions
How do I know whether guides is really my next step?
It is the right next step when it matches the physical bottleneck you can already describe: bad room placement, weak between-node hop, or clearly insufficient gear. The more specific the symptom, the more reliable the fix usually becomes.
Can I solve this without buying new hardware first?
Sometimes yes. NDZ generally wants you to measure, move, and validate before you spend, because a lot of dead-zone problems turn out to be layout problems first.
What should I read after this page?
Move toward measurement and troubleshooting, backhaul, or mesh guidance depending on what still feels unresolved.
